Blog postPhoto by Elena Mozhvilo on Unsplash If we asked you what your current work priorities were, could you answer quickly and confidently? What about the priorities of the company at large? If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. It’s difficult to rank to-dos, projects, initiatives, and KPI’s when everything seems vital and pressing.
Prior to the 1940s, the plural term priorities was rarely used. It wouldn’t have made sense; there can only be one priority. However, as having all of the2 weeks ago Read more -
Blog postHow to make your team as fast as Red Bull Racing’s mechanics When talking about motor racing, we often focus on the driver. But with 500–1,500 people per team, Formula 1 is the largest team sport in the world. That became very clear this weekend. Because even before the race, the mechanics of Red Bull Racing had to win a race against the clock.
Thirty minutes hour before the start, the cars leave the pit box across the track towards the starting grid. The track is soaking wet. Max6 months ago Read more -
Blog postHi Rohan, thank you! First I want to point out that F1 itself is a highly regulated environment. Thick rulebooks and quality procedures to allow for a level playing field and high safety. And yes I believe agile principles can be applied everywhere, having worked in pharma and aviation myself. What's behind your question?

Blog postNewsletter #24 “The days of office-centricity are over”, said Shopify’s CEO. Often triggered by a surprising increase in productivity, many companies (including Twitter and Facebook) have announced that they will allow employees to permanently work from home.
We will likely never fully return to the old situation. But I’m not sad about it. Instead, I believe this is a really good moment to start adopting participatory leadership and a more adaptive, human way of working.

Blog postRun your organization like a race team to gain speed and resilience The global pandemic has forced many organizations to change the way they work overnight. But this opportunity is bigger than mastering remote work and new tools. We have the chance to adopt a way of working that will make us faster, more resilient and ready for anything.
Right now, we need to be able to continuously steer and act on what is unfolding in front of us. We want to leverage everyone’s brainpower in the orga8 months ago Read more -
Blog postLearning from race marshals: a team of teams I have been focusing on Formula 1 racing teams as inspiration, a metaphor for businesses that are trying to accelerate and be more agile. So far, I have been focusing mostly on the race teams and how they organize and innovate. But recently I was invited by Stéphane Tartière, a race marshal who has read our book (Formula X), to take a look at what happens trackside.

Blog postGood write-up, Tim. To build on that, I like how the Agile Coaching Institute defined these four stances:
Coaching Ability to act as a coach, with the client’s interest determining the direction, rather than the coach’s expertise or opinion.
Facilitating Neutral process holder that guides the individual’s, team’s, or organization’s process of discovery, holding to their purpose and definition of success.

Blog postNewsletter issue #13 I find myself in an airplane, on the runway, waiting for take-off. I check my messages one more time and then put my phone in flight mode. Just a moment later, I feel the G-forces in my gut when the pilot pulls the throttle. I get treated on a magical view of the skyline of Amsterdam, since there are almost no clouds.
I have flown a lot this year, all across the planet. But this flight feels different. Today I am not on my way to deliver a speech at a con2 years ago Read more -
Blog postThe Ready’s free magazine The forces of complexity, humanity, and technology are putting pressure on our organizations that can’t be met by traditional ways of working. Our organizations need to be better for their people and better for the world. This requires a paradigm shift from ‘plan & predict’ to ‘sense & respond’.
Over the last few years, I discovered that implementing agile is not enough to solve this challenge, so I embarked on a journey to broaden my perspective.2 years ago Read more

Formula X is a business fable about speed, leadership and organizational change.
Many organizations struggle to adapt to our fundamentally faster world. For companies and professionals, it often feels like they have to make an ultimate choice: quality or speed. But speed does not have to result in bad work―and Formula 1 motor racing proves this.
Within the two weeks between races, they perform the enormous job of analyzing all data, designing and producing new components, shipping, assembling and testing. How do they do that? And what can we learn from F1 in applying these lessons to our workplaces?
Formula X tells the story of Ronald Park, director of a large kitchen manufacturer. He will lose his job if he fails to significantly reduce the delivery time of his kitchens to under two weeks. As he takes up this challenge, he manages to get his organization closer to this goal, step by step. He receives unexpected help from the team captain of a well-known Formula 1 team.
Ronald successfully implements several F1 lessons in his company. But just when Ronald thinks he made it, things change to the worse. How will he manage? How will he keep his company alive?
In Formula X you will learn the secrets to reaching extreme acceleration in your organization!

Formel X: Wie Sie die Prozesse in Ihrem Unternehmen extrem beschleunigen – ein Businessroman (German Edition)
Nov 28, 2019
$20.99
"Formel X" ist ein Businessroman über Geschwindigkeit, Führung und organisatorischen Wandel. Viele Unternehmen ringen mit der Tatsache, dass unsere Welt wesentlich schneller geworden ist. Sie erfahren bei ihrer Arbeit zunehmend einen scheinbar unlösbaren Konflikt zwischen Qualität und Geschwindigkeit. Doch die Formel-1-Welt beweist, dass Qualität und Geschwindigkeit bei der Arbeit vereinbar sind. Innerhalb von zwei Wochen zwischen den Rennen werden alle Daten analysiert, neue Autoteile entworfen, getestet, produziert, montiert und erneut getestet. Wie schaffen die Teams das? Und was kann man davon für die eigene Arbeit lernen?
Dieses unterhaltsame Buch erzählt die Geschichte von Ronald Verhulst, Geschäftsführer eines großen Küchenherstellers. Er steht vor der Herausforderung, die Lieferzeit der Küchen drastisch von zwölf auf zwei Wochen zu verkürzen. Sonst ist er seinen Job los. Aus unerwarteter Richtung kommt Unterstützung in Form von Anregungen und Tipps vom Teamchef des Formel-1-Teams "Faster Racing". Ronald gelingt es, die aus der Formel 1 gewonnenen Erkenntnisse zu Geschwindigkeit und Beschleunigung in seinem Unternehmen umzusetzen und die Prozesse Schritt für Schritt zu beschleunigen.
"Das Buch liest sich hervorragend. Eine meiner wichtigsten Erkenntnisse ist, dass ich mich als Führungskraft verändern muss. Vertrauen geben statt Kontrolle und das intellektuelle Potenzial aller Menschen nutzen, anstatt nur das des Managementteams."
Mariëlle Lichtenberg,
Direktor Privatkunden, Rabobank
"›Formel X‹ verdeutlicht, wie man die Geschwindigkeit und damit den Erfolg eines Unternehmens steigern kann. Das Buch ist inspirierend für jeden, der ein schnelleres Team oder eine schnellere Organisation führen will."

CEO, Unilever Food Solutions
